Abstract

With the exponential development of science and technology, the constantly improving productivity and accumulated social wealth will lead to economic surplus, which will become a new problem in the world. At present, downward pressure on China's economy has continued to mount, and the traditional growth pattern has faced an array of challenges. The economic surplus will be a prominent problem in China. Fortunately, sharing economy is a way to take advantage of surplus resources brought by it. Therefore, what sharing economy is and how this new economic growth point develops in the future is an issue of concern and worthy to be.

This thesis will introduce the definition and characteristics of sharing economy firstly. Then the influences on economy and society will be discussed. Based on the examples of Uber and Airbnb, two mega brands in sharing economy, this thesis will compare their similarities and differences in their courses of development in China and America. Through analysis of the chances and challenges encountered by sharing economy, this study will try to figure out the barricades on the road of development of sharing economy, and then explore how to develop this new mode in China.
